ਜਪ ਤਪ ਸੰਜਮ ਸੁਚਿ ਹੈ ਸੋਈ ਆਪੇ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਾਈ ॥੧੩॥
jap tap sanjam such hai so-ee aapay karay karaa-ee. ||13||
He is chanting, intense meditation, austere self-discipline and purification. He Himself acts, and causes us to act. ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The quiet chanting, the deep meditation, the careful self-discipline, the keeping pure: the One is all of these.
The One acts, and moves us to act.
The good you practice is already alive with the One inside it.
Jap, tap, sanjam, such — chanting, deep meditation, self-discipline, purity — are named not to dismiss them but to locate their true source: aapay karay karaa-ee, the One both acts and moves us to act. The practices are real; their life comes from the One already within them.
